This is the best summary I could come up with:
Monday 6 May marks 25 years since the first election to Cardiff Bay and the start of Welsh devolution.It followed a referendum two years earlier where a narrow majority of voters backed setting up the then National Assembly, now renamed as the Senedd, with some powers transferred from Westminster to Wales.
What impression has devolution had on people in Amman Valley, Carmarthenshire, about 50 miles from the heart of Welsh politics?
"We're situated at the edge of two counties and it feels like we get the last of the share," according to Steve Holloway, 47, captain of Brynamman rugby club's darts team.
"I think there's duplication of work which Westminster is doing and it's a cost that we probably don't need," he said.But his wife, Carol, 73, said politicians in Cardiff Bay "know what we're all about - they understand Welsh people".
Labour have hit the winning score in every election since 1999, allowing the party to govern since devolution began and make decisions over education, health, agriculture and transport.The Welsh government has defended its record over the past 25 years, claiming devolution has put Wales "at the forefront of progressive policies, with a government elected by the people of Wales, working for the people of Wales".However, back in Amman Valley, it is not long until I hear some criticism of one of those policies: cutting the default speed limit in built up areas to 20mph.
"I think that was very poorly thought out," said Richard Geraghty, 74.He moved to the Amman Valley from south-east England six years ago, so how does life in Wales compare?
